9.5/10It’s a lovely rural restaurant with a nice menu, well worth making a journey to it (I travelled from Kent but I was headed to Maldon). Will visit again when I’m next in the area.

7.5/10Lovely food, service was slow and we waited a long time for food/inbetween courses and had to ask for more drinks on a very hot day…

10/10We all enjoyed our visit to the Galvin Green Man. The food was amazing. Our uncle said it was the best meal he had eaten in years. We will definitely return.

9/10We had a lovely meal for my wife’s birthday. Good food from start to finish. Our only concern was the wine. We asked for advice on what we were eating but although the wine was expensive , the wine was not a good taste and tasted like a cheap wine. Very disappointed.

9.5/10First time for us here and it has been great: Sunday lunch, sunny and 20 degrees, the perfect conditions to eat on the terrace. Traditional English food , very well prepared. Good variety of Italian and French wine, at the glass as well, that is what we took. Only improbable aspect, the service can be faster: they were full, so I guess they were at the limit. Still good. We will go back, no doubt.

6/10The venue and ambience is lovely. However the food wasn’t as good as I hoped for. Chicken was over cooked and lacked any flavour. Beetroot and goats cheese salad was ok - I’ve had better.

8.5/10Really lovely restaurant with excellent service. We were just a little disappointed as although the food was all cooked well, it wasn't anything exciting and the portions were a bit small considering the price.

7/10The food was extremely good, as was the ambience. Unfortunately our waiter was rather slovenly and rather rude.

9.5/10The food and service were excellent, the only small issue is the noise. Like a lot of restaurants now, there are no soft furnishing/carpets to dampen the noise in a large open space, and it makes it difficult for conversation.

9/10Lovely meal, we had the set menu which was delicious and great value in comparison to the full menu, which is pricey, but the food was high quality and the staff lovely. Service did slow down a bit as the restaurant got busier but not too problematic and the extra little touches for the birthday celebration were lovely

8/10Food was really good, service was also good, being attentive but not intrusive. Pricing taking into account food and service I would say was fair. 12.5% service charge auto added to bill.

7.5/10First time visit. Whilst the food was good. The waiting staff were very disjointed. We had declined water at the table so glasses were taken away. Within minutes another person put new glasses on our table. Drinks ordered to come with main meal ( suggested wine) came after we had finished dinner. Overall a good meal with hopefully just an off day (Sunday ) with serving staff. Will give it another go at a quieter time

10/10My son and his partner were over from Tasmania so we wanted somewhere special to take them. Food and drink were superb. Great choice of 0 alcohol drinks. Lovely table overlooking garden. Staff were attentive but not obtrusive..
